WHAT IS VIOLENCE

what is violence
what is love
why the bullet
why the dove

what to do
and where to go
in a rush
or do it slow
 
why your friend did
or didn't do
but never ask
just who are you
 
i i you say, that
i is me
though it changes
so quickly
 
sometimes i think
i'm quite a man
sometimes i think
i never can
know what to do
to do things right
seems i have to
force or fight
 
we've found ourselves
within a play
the script is written
day by day
 
some parts come
from long ago
some more recent
make the show
 
there is christ
hitler, now george bush too
there's mom and dad
and last night's screw
 
and there we go
our merry way
jump from bed
into the play
try to influence
a bit
try not to fall
into the shit
 
but never ask
just who you are
or where you're going
why so far
 
i, i, you say
that i is me
though it changes
so quickly
